One agent running your whole content pipeline is a context problem waiting to break
A team's automated Instagram reel pipeline broke when a single agent ran idea-to-video: it returned muffled audio and broken edits, then packed them into finished-looking output that hid its own failures. The fix was splitting the flow into specialized agent stages with clean handoffs. GitHub's breakdown names the underlying mechanics: a monolithic agent blows past its context window and can't verify its own output, while multi-agent splits put verification and decision checkpoints at every step.
